The Significance of the Comparison Method in Teaching Foreign Languages

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The comparison method is a powerful instructional approach in foreign language teaching that draws on learners' existing linguistic knowledge to facilitate the acquisition of a new language. Rooted in contrastive linguistics, this method involves identifying and analyzing similarities and differences between the learners’ first language and the target language. It enhances learners’ understanding of grammatical structures, vocabulary, pronunciation, and cultural expressions by creating meaningful connections and promoting metalinguistic awareness. The method also supports cognitive development and inclusive teaching by validating learners' native languages.
